"This project is intended for amateur radio operators from beginners to advanced. If you want to just dive in to building it without understanding the theory of operations, start at the overview and skip to the BOM and Assembly Instructions. For those who wish to understand the theory of operation from an electrical perspective, we start with the *Schematic* and *Theory of Operation* sections after a brief overview.\n",

"The audio input has a nominal peak-to-peak voltage limit of 3.3V. To achieve the best decode performance, it should have at least 200mV peak-to-peak input level. However it can work with input levels much lower than this.\n",
"\n",
"The audio input circuit starts with a DC-blocking capacitor and a programmable DC-offset section required to set the proper DC bias for the audio section. This programmable DC offset is required because there is an additional component of the audio input circuit that is not apparent in the schematic. There is a built-in programmable gain amplifier (PGA) in the MCU that is used and this requires varying DC offsets depending on the gain selected. The gain is selectable from 0dB, 6dB, 12dB, 18db, & 24dB.\n",
